Miseleneous Tips and Tricks
PDF documents manipulation
If you want to put multiple pages of an existing PDF document on a single sheet use the scripts from pdfjam package. For example, when producing a handout of my presentations I run:
# pdfnup --nup 2x2 --paper a4paper --frame true --scale 0.96 \
--delta "2mm 2mm" doc.pdf
I use pdfnup also for scaling documents (e.g. LNCS papers):
# pdfnup --nup 1x1 --scale 1.2 doc.pdf
Strike-through text
Use package ulem, eg.:
\usepackage[normalem]{ulem}
...
Ala \sout{nie} ma kota
The option normalem
saves the standard emphasizing command (by default
it is changed to underline). The other commands are: uline for multiline
underlining, uuline for double underlining, uwave for wavy underline.
Mirrored output
If you want to get a mirrored output use the crop package, and the
command \crop
. Here is an example:
\usepackage[a4,center,cam,mirror]{crop}
Bug in Beamer
Namely in the file
/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/beamer/translator/dicts/translator-numbers-dictionary/translator-numbers-dictionary-Polish.dict
.
There is \\{e}
instead of \\k{e}
(ę).
